Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): a Fair and Balanced Look at the Right,
by Al Franken
While I listened to this book on CD rather than reading it in the traditional
way, Franken's scathing and hilarious look at the government, the news media,
and the world in general was as interesting as it was funny. Franken
intersperses the text with fictional scenes and other bits that carry his point
across while breaking the stereotype of the dry, bitterly written political
tome. The audio version is especially enjoyable because Franken has actors
portray the characters in his fictional scenes. While I would recommend this
book, I especially recommend it to those who are looking for an audiobook- it
had me laughing through rush hour traffic on the Merritt, which is certainly a
difficult feat!
